رَسا بِالصُغد أَصلُ بَني أَبينا

رَسا بِالصُغد أَصلُ بَني أَبينا

وَأَفرُعنا بمرو الشاهِجانِ

وَأَفرُعنا بمرو الشاهِجانِ

The root of our father's sons took hold in Sogd,

The root of our kin has anchored in Sogdia,

And our branches are in Marw al-Shahijan.

And our branches extend to Marw al-Shahijan;

فَكَم بالصَغد لي من عمّ صدق

فَكَم بالصَغد لي من عمّ صدق

وَخال ماجِد بالجوزَجان

وَخال ماجِد بالجوزَجان

For many a true-hearted paternal uncle have I in Sogd,

For how many a true paternal uncle have I in Sogdia,

And a noble maternal uncle in Juzjan.

And noble maternal uncle in Jawzajan.
